CRITICS OF "Sling Blade"

Groucho Reviews

Thornton brings three key ingredients to the table: distinctive, rich, authentic Southern locations, patient and painterly atmosphere, and a precise and fresh character to study. [Blu-ray]

August 12, 2009

Resource

New York Times

An abundance of long, flat medium shots that rob the film of intimacy and give it a sleepy pace.

May 08, 2002

Old School Reviews

Much of the audience appeal relies on the film's simplicity

February 15, 2012

Resource

Washington Post

Sling Blade takes you down paths full of primitive, almost biblical implications, but it also finds comic relief in moments of palpable tension.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Movie Views

Well acted, a multi-leveled story and a pure honesty make Sling Blade one of my favourite films of the 1990s.

August 28, 2009

EmanuelLevy.Com

Marking Billy Bob Thornton's debut as a director and solo writer, Sling Blade is a powerful southern gothic parable about good and evil.

July 22, 2011

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

Excellent character study of a mentally challenged person.

July 23, 2009

Resource

Movie Metropolis

Thornton offers a subtle, thoughtful script, generally sensitive direction, and an understated performance, uh-huh.

August 01, 2009

Resource

Salon.com

By its midpoint, however, Thornton has begun forcing both the film's poetry and the preternatural goodness of its simple-minded protagonist, and Sling Blade's sweet charms begin to curdle.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Washington Post

A masterpiece of Southern storytelling.

May 08, 2002

Resource

Los Angeles Times

A mesmerizing parable of good and evil and a splendid example of Southern storytelling at its most poetic and imaginative.

In Sling Blade, Thornton lays claim to the title of hyphenate of the year.
